All human behavior falls on a continuum. We each are some place on the continuum, which is why we can so easily see ourselves in the descriptions of many disorders. We all share these human tendencies. We need help coping when some of our tendencies get too extreme; either too much or too little. There is nothing wrong at the core as we all share t

My approach to helping begins with the understanding that in order for therapy to be effective, it must take place within a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental therapy relationship, a relationship that is built with the sole purpose of understanding and helping you. With that said, I do not believe there is ever a "one size fits all" approach t

In my counseling practice, I emphasize building a trusting, safe, and honest relationship with my clients. Together we will identify issues, learn to understand them, and find solutions to life's difficulties. I believe each individual situation is unique and therefore requires a unique approach. I am committed to providing confidential, high qual

My approach is toward empowering you to be able to identify and follow your own intuition/internal wisdom, so that you feel self-directed in addressing your issues - not only in session, but between sessions.

It is my privilege to support you through whatever challenges you may face by providing a warm, accepting, compassionate atmosphere that is absolutely judgment free. As your counselor, you will find that I

First, I would like to point out that the "problem" is never really the problem. It is simply a symptom or coping skill to soothe the discomfort of an unmet need or deep rooted fear which is the real problem. In order for a problem to be a problem the individual must think that there is a problem; there has to be something within the individual tha

I work from the belief that meaning and satisfaction stem from the ability to connect with one's self and others. Old emotional wounds and current struggles can impair this ability for connection. I work collaboratively with each individual, couple, or family to create a safe environment where healing can occur.

I can understand and relate to the hesitation in finding a therapist and starting therapy. My philosophy is that everyone at sometime in their life could benefit from therapy.
